Maria-Christina Predescu is a 24 year old artist and breast cancer survivor. She is a living epitome of how life is a fragile gift, so we make the most out of it to fully cherish what was given to us.
Trying to meld the moody tones of pulp noir with the playful romanticism of 1950s lifestyle illustration. Inspired by the fairground scene from the 1942 Veronica Lake classic, This Gun for Hire.

Pen & Ink Garden Gate enshrouded in florals and crawling ivy . . . A few aspects of this one proved to be quite challenging, but it was such fun❤️ I prayed a lot through this one . . . Enjoy!
My mum and i call him morise. (His real name is moritz). he made us delicious tea and coffee in his artstudio. we talked, painted and i drew alot at his place. he turned into family. when i heard that he passed away, i couldnt pick up a paintingbrush, acrylics or watercolours because it reminded me so much of him. now, for this drawing i started to experiment with watercolours again and added it in the drawing. honestly, i cried during the process of painting but i am proud that i dared to use it. i enjoyed to experiment.
thank you so much for reading, wish you a wonderful day !
My pen sensitivity has gone on my pen tablet. I think I need to get a new one. In the meantime though, it has been interesting experimenting with the different types of art I can create without the sensitivity, such as these flat characters.
